All refugees receive a monthly food basket consisting of cereal, pulses, vegetable oil, sugar, salt and corn‐soya blend (CSB). This food assistance plays a crucial role in meeting the basic food needs of the refugees and help prevent malnutrition. Furthermore, it facilitates the elimination of food insecurity and negative coping mechanisms.
